Nintendo and Namco Bandai have today confirmed that they have entered into a distribution agreement in regards to Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, a Nintendo DS game that is due to launch later this year. Under the terms of such an agreement, Nintendo will be responsible for the sales, marketing and distribution of the game throughout European territories including Russia and Turkey, as well as South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

Players can expect to enter a world of epic fantasy action as they venture across the mythical floating islands of the Shepherd Republic in this role-playing game. You’ll take on the story of Red Savarin, an anthropomorphic dog with the ability to take a human form, as he does battle with giant robotic “mecha” and other enemies as he explores the floating islands.

This engrossing quest is set amid picturesque anime graphics produced by some of the world’s leading animators and manga names such as Nobuteru Yūki (The Vision of Escaflowne) and movies and cut scenes designed by Madhouse (Marvel Anime, Ninja Scroll, DeathNote, CardCaptor Sakura).
